Rejoining the board of this hospital in 1904, he was chairman of its medical board for many years. Residence In 1878, Jones built "Llandilo" on a large property in Strathfield bounded by The Boulevarde, Albyn Road, Kingsland Road and Wakeford Road and lived there until his death. The property was then subdivided and a group of residents headed by Rev Wheaton, a Congregational minister, bought the house for a school, which was known as Strathfield Grammar School. In 1926, the school became part of Trinity Grammar School and today is the landmark building of the Preparatory School campus.

He was a trustee of the Australian Museum, was connected with the Kindergarten Union, was an early member of the Linnean Society, and was for 51 years a member of the Royal Society of New South Wales. He was also actively interested in many charitable institutions and in Trinity Congregational Church, Strathfield, of which he was a deacon. He was a member of council of Camden College, the Congregational theological college and grammar school. Jones was knighted in 1905 for his work in combating tuberculosis and died in Sydney, survived by three sons and four daughters. Jones was buried in the Congregational section of Rookwood Cemetery.
